The difference between the speed of light in a vacuum and the speed of light in the medium is known as the medium's refractive index. It is an abstract concept that describes how light moves through a medium. Material with a higher refractive index is considered optically denser.In the question refractive index of Carbon disulfide is more so it will be optically denser.
